Report Resources

 

 

 

 

Overview

CHIA collects hospital data on patient demographics, diagnoses and procedures, physicians, and charges for each inpatient discharge, outpatient observation stay, and emergency department visit in Massachusetts. Hospitals submit data in accordance with the requirements of the Data Submission Specification Manuals, which set forth the file format, record specifications, data elements, definitions, code tables, and edit specifications for each database.

Additionally, CHIA collects certain (Electronic Health Record Data) EHRD data. This data is shared with MassHealth in an Enhanced Demographics Data File in support of the MassHealth health equity program.
